2016 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

Check engine light on. ECM (engine control computer) malfunction. Dealer first denied any problems with vehicle even with check engine light on. So I took to it to independent service center, which confirm problem. By providing the service center report, the dealer then confirm problem. Problems/symptoms occur 2 days after financing vehicle.

MySky Parts commonly break on Jeep Renegades and poise a safety concern that they do not close. During accident or inclement conditions this can endanger passengers and driver.

The air bag light comes on and the power steering goes out, and the ignition wont turn off , when it comes on. Have to take the battery cable off. Start it back up and it may stay off a few days and comes back on. Too scared to drive it.

Was sitting in a drive through and car started smoking. It stopped after I shut everything down. Then another time it overheated after driving for seven minutes had to stop. Air conditioning doesn’t work . Engine light on. Just bought from dealer with 20000 miles like a lemon. So not right.

My 2016 Jeep Renegade is my only vehicle for myself and family. There's an open recall (U90) for a part that must be installed by a certified dealership. However, the necessary part is unavailable and has been back ordered for over one year. There are no dealerships in the entire state which have this part avallable. I've been on a waitlist for this part about a year as well. My car registration is due next month in May, which requires this recall to be repaired prior to registration. I also need a smog test, but the recall involves emissions so my smog test is likely to fail. I have contacted Jeep customer service but the representative has stopped responding completely. I have reached out 3 additional times to this representative assigned to help me but have been ignored.

This vehicle is constantly burning through oil between oil changes. It has stopped several times while driving only to find out it has no oil. It has been on the W80 recall list for 2 years and the dealerships in my area just say the parts are on allocation. I literally have to drive with oil in the car to refill it on the side of the road. I just got another recall notification from Jeep for U90 and they don't have parts to fix that either. I can't get it fixed. I can't sell it and I can't afford to keep it on the road. The low oil warning light does NOT come on.

Vehicle has a recall (U90) . I am unable to renew my Vehicle Registration without proof of correction certificate. Dealer has refused to service my vehicle for the recall . I have been in contact since March 2023 for this recall. I am told there is a waiting list for the part. I am never contacted again for the service. I have asked to be added to the waiting list and they are stating they are unable to service my vehicle without first ordering the part . They are uncooperative and refusing to service a recall that is required for Vehicle Registration renewal.

The sunroof on my Jeep opened by itself. There are issues all over the internet with same said problem with the Jeep Renegade MySky sunroof system. Jeep wants people to spend $3,500 to fix. can count on both hounds how many times I’ve actually opened the sunroof to use it.
